Chapter 124 An Old Friend in the Palace
In the deep palace, Concubine De was personally taken to the Jade Palace by Emperor Ping. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info was crowned as a concubine, the same level as Xiao Guifei. Emperor Ping stayed in the Jade Palace six times in a row, which can be described as a holy favor. General Feng was also awarded the position of Great Sima in recognition of his outstanding military exploits.
Since the temple burned down, almost all the people have stopped coming any closer. After Emperor Ping returned to the palace, he had to come here every day. Everyone thought that Emperor Ping was mourning the dead souls, but only Yan Yi understood that the master was thinking about the living souls.
In the blink of an eye, it has been half a month since Emperor Ping returned to the palace. On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Emperor Ping and his concubines climbed the Luoying Tower, looking at the prosperity of Yunzhou under his feet, and the firecrackers rang out. Emperor Ping also seemed to have forgotten that trace of longing for the time being.
"Yan Yi, don't look for it anymore. After looking for so long, it's time to rest. Let them go home and be reunited. Emperor Ping stood on top of the highest attic of Luoying Building with his hands behind his back, his voice tired.
He still remembered that Lin Luo had said that he wanted to leave the palace. Lin Luo has not been able to find Lin Luo this time, presumably Lin Luo is also consciously hiding. She doesn't love this deep palace, and since she has escaped, she naturally can't find it back.
"Master, are you really not looking for it?" Yan Yi never talked nonsense, but this time he still asked out loud, after all, Emperor Ping's worries in the past few days were in his eyes.
"If you don't look for it, she will have to leave when she finds it back." Emperor Ping shook his head, as if there was something blocking it in his heart. He brought in a pot of wine in his hand, which were several jars of wine dug out of the charred ground of the Tangchun Palace. The fruity aroma of peaches fills the tip of Emperor Ping's tongue, but it is a little bitter.
The wine was not well brewed and was very jerky.
"Yan Yi, maybe I won't see her in my life. If I forget any day, remember to remind me. Emperor Ping turned his head to look at Yan Yi and said with a smile.
"The minister must live up to his mission." Yan Yi nodded heavily. He was an orphan with no father or mother, and it was Pingdi who took him in and raised him to be a secret guard. He is ruthless and desireless, and just wants to protect the benefactor in front of him.
"Go down, the queens should be in a hurry." Emperor Ping threw the wine jug into the river outside, and watched the wine jug flow down the river, as if Lin Luo's voice and appearance also flowed away with the wine jug.
"Yes." Yan Yi nodded and followed behind Emperor Ping. The two of them went down the stairs and looked at the concubines sitting in the hall, Emperor Ping raised the corners of his mouth and walked straight to his seat.
Queen Ye stood up, held a glass of wine, and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, how about letting the concubines respect you for the first glass of wine of the new year?"
"Nature." Emperor Ping nodded, took the wine from the queen's hand, and drank it all. "Good wine, where is this tribute?"
"Back to the emperor, this wine was sent by the Lin family. It was mellow, so the concubine arranged for someone to carry it over. My sisters drank it, and it didn't hurt much. The queen said with a smile and poured another cup for Emperor Ping.
"The Lin family, the governor of Jiangnan?" Emperor Ping raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes." The queen suddenly remembered Lin Luolai, who was burned to death, and realized that she had said the wrong thing, isn't the governor of Jiangnan Lin Luo's mother's family.
"It's good for the first time, but I don't like it very much." Emperor Ping put down the cup in his hand heavily, "There is no need to let the Lin family pay tribute in the future." ā
"Yes, the concubine wrote it down." The queen didn't know what Emperor Ping meant, so she obediently removed the wine glass. "Cui Sleeves, tell someone to change the wine." The queen returned to her position and whispered to the green sleeves on the side.
"The slave knows." Emerald Sleeves nodded and walked out quickly.
The hall was silent for a while, and all the concubines put down the wine in their hands, bowed their heads at a loss, and didn't dare to joke anymore.
"Why didn't Concubine Xiao come?" Emperor Ping looked around and saw that he didn't see Yuan Xin'er, so he asked.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao is pregnant with a child, and her body is inconvenient. So he took leave with his concubine. The queen whispered, her eyes flickering.
"Concubine Xiao Guifei is in good health, and she doesn't care. Xiao Pingzi, go to the palace to pick up Concubine Xiao. On this day of reunion, how can she not come. Emperor Ping said with a smile, where did he not know the intrigue of the harem. Now that Concubine Xiao Guifei has no support from her mother's family, the queen can naturally take care of her at will. Emperor Ranping was very grateful to Concubine Xiao, after all, the 400,000 army could not be taken without her.
"Yes." Ping Gong on the side was the second-class eunuch of the year, and after Emperor Ping returned to the palace, the first thing he did was to remove Li An. As a result, he was promoted to the rank of great eunuch.
"Your Majesty, it's the concubines who are too careful, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." Hearing this, the queen hurriedly apologized.
"It's good for the queen to remember in the future, there is still a child in her heart, and please take care of the queen more." Emperor Ping nodded, not blaming the empress.
The queen breathed a sigh of relief and sat down in her seat. But the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, Concubine Xiao had no use value now, why did the emperor treat her so well. The queen remembered Xiao Guifei's growing belly, so she couldn't wait to strangle the child with her own hands.
There is no prince in the palace, and the queen can't take a risk. I was going to do it in the next few days, but the emperor actually said so. It was clear that the woman was not allowed to be moved, and the queen's face was very ugly, and she didn't even bother to put it on for a smile.
"Your Majesty, are you going to pick up Sister Xiao?" Feng Ling'er sat far away and didn't listen too seriously, so he asked. Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the queen's sharp eyes swept over. Feng Ling'er was so frightened that she lost the chopsticks in her hand and looked at the queen in a daze.
Emperor Ping didn't notice the queen's movements, looked at Feng Ling'er and froze, and didn't care too much, just nodded and said.
"Yes, I went to pick it up. Your sister is very boring alone in the palace, so take her over and play together. ā
"Yes, we're all here, Concubine Xiao must be boring. At that time, the concubine mentioned that she would be brought together, but no one cared about the concubine's words. Xiang Zhaoyuan said with a smile, and threw a wink at Emperor Ping. The concubine asked Luo Li to follow her, which could be regarded as a relief. Luo Li always said that she wanted a little brother to play with. ā
"Well, Luo Li is sensible." Emperor Ping smiled and nodded, "Xiang Zhaoyuan taught very well, I am very busy on weekdays, but I haven't seen this girl a few times, and I don't know if she still remembers me." ā
"Look at what the emperor said, Luo Li has been talking about his father in front of his concubines. How can you not recognize it. Xiang Zhaoyuan lowered her head shyly and said.
Others looked at Xiang Zhaoyuan like this, and felt uncomfortable for a while. They have been in the palace for a long time, but they are not angry, and they have never been pregnant with a prince. Xiang Zhaoyuan showed off her daughter like this, she was really dissatisfied.
"Xiao Luoli is really cute, and the concubine likes it very much." The queen said with a smile and took the conversation. The concubine thought that she was getting older. It would be interesting to have such a child under your lap. (To be continued.) )
